I have been in a discussion with my DAR regarding 2 inch "NX" numbers for my Javron Super Cub, which should also apply to RV-3,4 & 6 aircraft. My interpretation of the regulations is that I can legally apply 2" NX numbers to my Javron. The reg. states that any aircraft over 30 years old is considered an antique, and may display 2" registration numbers. Additionally, under the definition of Antique aircraft, "A U.S. registered aircraft possessing a special airworthiness certificate in the experimental category for the purpose of operating an amatuer built aircraft with the same external configuration as an aircraft built at least 30 years ago". My Javron is registered as a PA-18 Replica.
Note that Legend Aircraft of Texas is delivering Cub replicas from their "builder assist" factory with 2" NX registration numbers.
It seems that this is another case of FAA "interpretation" of the FAR's, where one FSDO says OK, and another says NO.
I hope MEL weighs in on this one.
